It was more like less than 10 seconds. The very second it appeared I added it it to my cart and went to paypal, and it was sold out already

I was refreshing the page every ten seconds from 8:57p.m. to 9:05p.m. and I could never see the purchase link in the page. The next thing I saw was the sold out announcement. Congratulation for him, but I really wanted at least one set of his awesome custom.

Even a pre-order wouldn't change things too much. There simply just ain't enough to go around. Joe has enough notoriety among collectors to start his own full time biz ala Spy Monkey.

I missed out too, but at least we know Amaro is on the rise!

There were two websites, http://www.warlordsoftheuniverse.com and http://www.castlewarriors.net

I started the purchase on castlewarriors.net (which I was unable to complete lol). I don't know if the warlords address also had the purchase window.

Don't forget to leave feedback for Joe on either site! He's got a little interest form to fill out. If enough people fill it out, it'll be a second run!

Yep. This was my story as well. There goes my hope for the hammer too.

However I do believe that either a preorder or a purchase limit would help this issue.

Ok now I need all three items: the Hammer, the Manta Raider, and the Castle Warriors Set. This time I didn't even try. It went on sale at 3 AM German time and I was in bed. Got a job and have to get up early

I'd like all 3 items too, but I'm not going to bother. Seems these items sell out almost instantly, so even if I was online at the exact moment they went on sale, I doubt I'd get one. Still, they look really good.

At first i wasn't even understanding what i was reading, thought it was some paypal error, then it struck me, these sets have sold out within seconds! I already had my paypal account logged on, and was refreshing the page every single second for the last two minutes before the sale.

I'm all for a pre-order system for these, although i reckon this can be a risky thing to do for someone with limited resources\time given the amount of demand his work has.

It would be awesome if he was somehow able to team up with SpyMonkey! Though this might be problematic as they've been pulling away stylistically from MOTUC and more toward Glyos stuff.

I completely forgot to try to order this last night.... and that was after making a "mental note" to do so earlier in the day. Oddly, I actually kind of feel better knowing that they sold out in a manner of seconds. My odds of getting one probably wouldn't have been much better had I remembered and attempted to get one.

If any one was able to get this, please describe how you were able to go through processing so quickly. Also, Joe DESPERATELY needs to either offer pre-orders, or else limit the quantity per customer. If this is what his sales are like, then I'll never be back again.

The last two sales were like that. If I remember correctly only the Mystic Hammer lasted slightly longer. I'm past any frustration now and have reached the point were I just don't care anymore and pretend these items don't exist... Especially for us international fans they are virtually impossible to come by.
I agree with what you said about the massive advertisement for all of his items: this only heightens the Frustration IMO. Those who do toy reviews at least don't have to worry about how and where to get these items.
I also find it unfortunate that Joe so quickly moves on to the next project instead of trying to satisfy the demand for his previously released items. The List gets longer: first it was only the Hammer, now it's three items already...

I agree with you 100% I really would like to know if at least one member of the org could buy one set.
